Requirements Definition Print E-mail

Successful products are ones that meet customer needs, are innovative and that offer value.


To be successful in the business field ARS serves, the most important is close collaboration with customer, research and development of the potential project, proper communication and business logic grasping, important information gathering and adequate priorities setting.

All listed processes serve the most important Documentation Customer Requirements Set creation process.

Requirements definition is the most crucial part of ARS’s projects.

We know beyond doubt that incorrect, inaccurate, or excessive definition of requirements must necessarily result in schedule delays, wasted resources, or customer dissatisfaction.

The requirements analysis in our lab begins with business or organizational requirements translation into project requirements. If meeting stated requirements will be unreasonably costly, or take too long, the project requirements may have to be negotiated down, down-scoped or down-sized, in discussions with customers or sponsors.

IT industry has specific, proven techniques for obtaining thorough and accurate definition of requirements. All our clients are aware how carefully ARS’s personnel treat this phase of the project.

Usually we gather initial requirements, analyze them, refine, document and then review requirements with customer/users.

Gather Initial Requirements

Get the users involved very early in the concept discussions to understand what they need the software to do. These are the initial functional requirements.

Discuss the software requirements with funders and end-users. Be sure to cover:

  • Key features and functions that the software must perform, including graphical interface, management reports, and human factors (usability)
  • Benefits to the customer including savings that could be obtained
  • Approximate cost for the development
  • Any commercial software products that provide overlapping or competing capabilities.


Review Requirements with Users

Review the initial requirements with end-users and funders to obtain their approval of:

  • What tasks the users want to use the software to do
  • Key features and functions
  • Reports and results the software should produce
  • Other software that needs to interface to this software
  • User interface description
  • Other key requirements of users and funders.
